Cant tell you what the 1/4 mile is, but they have been timed to do the 0-100 sprint in about 11.5 sec (to real 100, not speedo 100)!

The real benefit of the M5 is that it doesnt stop pulling till it hits the limiter - which in my case is at about 168 (apparently - allegedly!!!!!)

Without it they can apparently hit 186 according to BMW.
Yes I have heard this as well - seems like quite a bold claim to me, though I must admit it was still pulling strong at 168. It is only really at these supersonic speeds that it really bosses the M3s!
